Challenge Your Body, Discover your World

Welcome to Fuego y Agua Events!

We produce Extreme Endurance Running events with a philanthropic purpose. Our mission is to bring unique, challenging and sustainable endurance events to the planet. We strive to bring our runners, volunteers and participants an integrated cultural and learning experience, not just another racing event. Read about our Causes below!

what a ride!...racing is such a small part of the experience...This was one of the most unique weeks of my life.

Mission Statement

By using locally owned businesses we hope to help boost the local economy and promote sustainability in our event locations. All Runners and Volunteers are encouraged to participate in our extracurricular events, such as reforestation and clean water projects, trash-cleanups, school supply donations and our Kids Runs. These organized efforts promote local awareness of our planet as a natural resource that must be preserved and maintained.

Fuego y Agua gives back to the communities in a way that inspires me. Volcano Maderas and Volcan Conception were two of the biggest toughest climbs I have ever raced. Fuego y Agua challenged me in a way few races ever have.

— USATF 100km Runner Dave James

Isla de Ometepe, Nicaragua

Portions of race entry costs and donations are used to host the Calzado Kids Run, a children’s race for local islanders. This event promotes running, fitness, healthy eating and awareness of the island as an endangered environment that must be cared for. All participants of Calzado Kids Run receive a bag of school supplies donated by supporters and participants of Fuego y Agua.

Our vision with Calzado Kids Run is to promote running, fitness, healthy eating and awareness of the island as an endangered environment that must be cared for.

Why Sponsor Fuego y Agua

In our 7th year, we now have events in the US, Nicaragua, Mexico, the UK and are continually exploring new opportunities. Our participants are from all over the world, with attendees from over 20 different countries at any one event. We are open to innovation and welcome suggestions and new ideas!

Our race sponsors are an integral part of the success of all Fuego y Agua Events. That is why we work with you to come up with a sponsorship plan that will work best for everyone. A lot of our sponsors even run the events and get involved with the children's programs we have.

We have been featured in several print and television media sources internationally, both in the extreme endurance circuits and in the mainstream. As our exposure expands, our potential to promote sponsors goes up.

How to Become a Sponsor

We have three levels of sponsorships, Gold, Silver and Bronze with many options to achieve sponsorship. We accept in-kind, product and other types of sponsorships. We also have our Friends of Fuego y Agua Program, a cross-promotion affiliate/support program. If you are interested in becoming a local or international sponsor, contact us now!

The stunning scenery and relaxed, paradisiacal atmosphere of Ometepe belies, however, the challenging course that race director, Josue Stephens, has laid out to test thoroughly the endurance and will power of all entrants. The course takes runners on a grand tour of the island, confronting runners with dramatic changes in climate and elevation, from tropical beaches and jungles to dry tropics and cloud forests.

Race Results

If you finish the race, you win. If you participate, you win. If you wake up in the morning, and feel good, you win. If you live the good life, and eat the good food, and have love for other people, you win.

Devil's Double Finishers

Started in 2014, the Devil's Double involves finishing the Fuego y Agua Survival Run and the 100km within three days of each other. This is not an easy feat and only a small handful of people finish it.
